Superstition, Coincidence and Probability Judgement

We have moved on to 'Explanations for Anomalistic Experience' - the middle section of the specification. Here is what you need to know:

• The role of coincidence and probability judgements in anomalous experience 
• Explanations for superstitious behaviour and magical thinking 
• Personality factors underlying anomalous experience

There are a couple of changes from last year's specification - mainly things being taken out, but 'magical thinking' is new and 'probability judgements' have become more important. Bear in mind that textbooks which were published more than a year ago are therefore a bit out of date.

Here is the presentation we used in Monday's lesson:
